<p>Wow! that’s some resume. When do you get time to do so many things? I would love my daughter to follow your steps. Any suggestions? she is 7th grader heading your direction but way behind. :-)</p>

<p>Raise your SAT if you’re sending it. Good transcript. I think your application would benefit from a “spark,” something special but overall you have a good chance.</p>
